Wow, if this isn't a deal breaker, I don't know what is. Judge says jury entitled to see classified evidence....or screw it.

Mar-a-Lago Judge’s Stark Ruling: Jury Sees Secret Files or Trump Wins​


Department of Justice Special Counsel Jack Smith must now choose whether to allow jurors at the upcoming criminal trial to peruse through the many classified records found at the former president’s South Florida mansion or give jurors instructions that would effectively order them to acquit him.

Alternatively, Smith could appeal to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, where more experienced judges have already overturned Cannon and reined her in. But doing that will only further delay a trial that’s at least three months behind schedule, entirely by the judge’s own design. (She froze the investigation and tried to slow-roll document review until the appellate court forced her to stop.)

So confidential and top secret national security documents can't be seen by a jury... I guess Trump didn't declassify them after all.

No consequences for what he did.

If the jurors can't see the evidence that Trump committed a crime, then there is no crime and he should be automatically acquitted.

Why do you liberals hate the presumption of innocence?

It would be the same for any spies....or anyone that sells secrets to foreign countries.
 
This is a real win win for Trump. Because the classified documents Trump had were the ones that proved Obama's and Hillary's dirty deeds, toward him and others. So now it's either, close the case or learn the truth. :113:

Trump has claimed that he declassified all the documents he took.

Was this the same standard in the trial of Aldrich Ames? Did his jury get to see every document he was accused of giving to Russia?

Should it have been a requirement?

Beginning to look like she was trying to get replaced.

I agree she is, there has never been a case involving classified material where this was the standard in the past. Just imagine if this had been the standard for Ames.

If she can get herself removed she has done Trump's work for him by delaying the trail till after the election, which seems to be her only goal.

Trump is not a "spy", nor did he "sell" anything to a foreign country. You are confusing him with Joe Biden, who actually did accept money from Russia, China, and Ukraine in return for political influence. Furthermore, President Trump had the ability to declassify documents, while as VP, Biden did not.

It's called "equal justice."
